Change Maker Women’s Program Cohort 1 Showcase and Demo Day

The program created opportunities for participants to apply their learning beyond the classroom, culminating in a community showcase celebration where women displayed handmade accessories and products they created through the program’s hands-on resin workshops.

The program fostered a supportive, inclusive, and accessible environment where participants learnt, connected with others, practiced new skills, and explored small steps towards future opportunities. Designed as a community-based learning and skill-building initiative, the program helps women build confidence, practical skills, income readiness, and stronger community ties.

Gender Equality Week

Gender Equality Week September 17th to 23rd.

Canada introduced gender equality week in 2018 which takes place from September 17 to 23. Gender equality cannot be achieved unless women are provided an opportunity to live a dignified life and more work needs to be done. WTG has so many women who need assistance with employment, rent support, housing, and feeding their children and families.

We invite you to get involved, make a pledge, and support your local community. Support organizations that are assisting women facing hardships and challenges with poverty by making a donation and funding them.  Support women get employment, get decent housing. Single mothers, marginalized women are facing hardships to support their children, to pay bills, pay rent, purchase food, clothing, and basic necessities. Women survivors of GBV have little to nothing when they leave their abusive homes/surroundings. You can start at home by changing a life of one woman.  Thanks to all the men who are already committed to gender equality.

Donate today to support WTG’s programs. Link
